I WORK as a business advisor with Bank of Ireland. My entire family, led by my parents, John and Barbara Walshe, my five sisters - Sharon, Lisa, Tracy, Nicola and Laura - and extended family are all involved in breeding and producing horses. It’s definitely a family business/hobby/obsession!

Each person has found their niche over the years. Sharon is a former winner of the amateur championship in the RDS; Lisa has enjoyed great success with her horse Corlands Clipper and was national amateur champion last year.
